Beijing (Gasgoo)- On December 9, information of the DEEPAL S09, a new large SUV from Changan Automobile's DEEPAL brand, was released in the latest batch of regulatory filings from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

The vehicle showcases the brand's latest design language and will feature a six-seat layout, along with advanced intelligent driving capabilities, including the integration of LiDAR sensors. The S09 is slated for market release in the first half of 2025.
